I Wish - Stevie Wonder

作词：Stevie Wonder

作曲：Stevie Wonder

Looking back on when I

Was a little nappy headed boy

Then my only worry

Was for Christmas what would be my toy

Even though we sometimes

Would not get a thing

We were happy with the

Joy the day would bring

Sneaking out the back door

To hang out with those hoodlum

friends of mine

ooh

Greeted at the back door

With Boy thought

I told you not to go outside

Trying your best to bring the

water to your eyes

Thinking it might stop her

from whooping your behind

I wish those days

could come back once more

Why did those days ever have to go

I wish those days

could come back once more

Why did those days ever have to go

'Cause I love them so

Brother says he's telling

About you playing doctor with that girl

Just don't tell and I'll give you

Anything you want in this whole wide world

Mama gives you money for Sunday school

You trade yours for candy

after church is through

Smoking cigarettes and

writing something nasty on the wall

You nasty boy

Teacher sends you to the principal's office

down the hall

You grow up and learn

that kind of thing isn't right

But while you were doing it

it sure felt outta sight

I wish those days

could come back once more

Why did those days ever have to go

I wish those days

could come back once more

Why did those days ever have to go
